What I was doing today...

I finally managed to squeeze in some time to finish this project that has been 3 years in the making. It started with the purchase of these IKEA drawers I've wanted for a long time.

Then I painted all the pieces white, to match my room, (sort of!)

After that come pounding in the nails, as we all know IKEA stuff is bought "some assembly required". This almost caused me to get a divorce cause I bought 3 of these puppies and that's a lot of nails. LOL

Then I set them up in my studio and started sorting all my alphabets (chipboard, felt, plastic, etc.) into the drawers. One drawer per letter and one for numbers & punctuation.

Today I finally cut the ribbon I had bought and glued the labels on the front of the drawers.

Isn't it pretty? Now I just need to find a spot to put it in my room permanently...

I also hung up a storage unit that I purchased a few months ago...

All this while I was enjoying a Gerard Butler movie marathon. This wasn't even intentional. I had dug out a bunch of old movies and just started popping them into my PC. Well, I just realized that I've watched Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, Timeline, Reign of Fire, all with him in it. I also just recently came to the realization that he's pretty hot, and I love his movies. He's one of those actors that are great in any role. Whether it be villain, comedy or hot, ditsy main man, he does them all equally well. Thanks Gerard.

Things are looking up...now if it'll only stop raining.

Do You Think We Need To Pay For Music Lessons?

for my much neglected blog...and the grandma's...

T-ball season came & went this year. We got pretty lucky with the weather and

only had to deal with yucky muddy fields once or twice for practice. Gracie had a blast and her skills have improved a lot since last year. We'll see if she wants to keep playing next year.
